About radiOrakel FM 99.3
radiOrakel FM 99.3 is a community radio station from Oslo, Norway. Its website calls it the world's oldest women's radio, and it broadcasts on FM 99.3 as well as online. It is a non-commercial, volunteer-oriented station and offers an unusually wide mix of programmes instead of a single music format.
The daily schedule covers news, culture, documentaries, podcasts and a range of music shows, including rock, electronic, club and chillout. Examples of programme names on the schedule include Barrikaderock, Himmelblå, Abstinens, Uhørt and Taakeprat, and the station also carries the international news programme Democracy Now! in English. Most speech is in Norwegian. Beyond broadcasting, the station runs courses in journalism and radio technique, takes members and holds events, and has marked a 40th-anniversary festival. Its exact ownership structure is not stated on the front page.
The stream is an MP3 feed at 128 kbps in stereo. Expect the sound to change by the hour, from talk and activism-related shows to alternative music, which is the character of a community station run by its presenters.
